Video: Fox5 News Reports On the Dangers of Aspartame

Here is a 10-minute in-depth news report on aspartame - a chemical sweetener with a long and troubled history of negative health effects, and political agendas. This video exposes a part of this history, including interviews with several people who have experienced extreme adverse effects from using aspartame, as well as several scientists and doctors who have extensively studied the chemical. (For more exploration of the shadowy circumstances surrounding the aspartame studies and approval, also see this video - which kind of makes me want to cry from frustration. There are also many many other videos and books on this topic - search YouTube for "aspartame," or check out some of the resources below the video. Just how much evidence is enough??)

Hopefully you are already aware of the dangers of aspartame, but you may not be aware of just how many products this chemical appears in. Be sure when shopping to check the ingredients, and avoid products containing this harmful toxin.
